Section 25.213. Consumer review

(a) Before signing a waiver form under § 25.211 (relating to medical recommendations; waiver forms) and before the sale of a hearing aid to or for the use of a prospective hearing aid user, the registrant shall:

(1) Provide the prospective hearing aid user or authorized representative with a copy of the User Instructional Brochure for the hearing aid that has been or may be selected for the prospective user.

(2) Review the content of the User Instructional Brochure with the prospective hearing aid user or authorized representative orally or in the predominant method of communication used during the sale.

(3) Give the prospective hearing aid user or authorized representative an opportunity to read the User Instructional Brochure.

(b) If goods or services having a sale price of $25 or more are sold or contracted to be sold to a purchaser as a result of or in connection with a contact with or call on the purchaser at the purchaser’s residence, the purchaser may avoid the contract or sale by notifying the registrant of that decision, in writing, within 3 full business days following the day on which the contract or sale was made and by returning or holding available for return to the registrant, in its original condition, any merchandise received under the contract or sale. The notice of rescission is effective when deposited in the United States mail or when service is made in another manner which gives the registrant notice of rescission. These and additional provisions relating to the sale of goods in the purchaser’s home, including specific items which shall be included on the purchase receipt, are made a part of this section by incorporation of section 7 of the Unfair Trade Practices and Consumer Protection Law (73 P. S. § 201-7).
